    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    Update: I didnt get that camper that I mentioned above. It has the OG "tripod" jacks and when I bolted my homemade jack extensions on there (to clear my dually fenders), the weight of the camper combined with the leverage from the jack extensions caused the walls/floor of the camper to start...

    Well, I had digiorno (sp?) pizza at the iron door on friday, and I half-ass cheated at a superbowl gathering on sunday, and this mornings weigh-in shows it. 225.6 lbs.

    88 Runner

    Id stick with the H70 at the very least. Ive got a 1st gen 4runner built similarly to yours with whats essentially an H70HD pack, and when Im fully loaded for a trip I could use a couple more inches of ride height out of it/them. The only difference between our 4runners is that Ive got a 1.5"...

    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    40' is big lol. I havent really looked at trailers at all. Your setup is rad, but 26k is insane! I think the GCWR of my dually is 23k. Im only thinking about this gooseneck because the price is right. Other than that, I think a truck camper and flatbed trailer is the way to go (for my needs). Im...

    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    Im trying to "spin it" as a project that we can work on together lol. Shes seen youtube videos of couples working on schoolies/rvs together and for some strange reason she thinks its as easy as an edited video. As for the parking situation, I planned on parking it at his place either way (its...

    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    Agreed, its a big'n. Ive drooled/dreamed over the sundowner and logan open deck trailers ever since I 1st heard of them ( https://www.milehightrailers.com/PrintInventory-Sundowner-Trailers-Trailer-Krawler-Hauler-2286-KM--id-11552378 ), but I cant justify the cost of them (even if theyre used)...

    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    I must be retarded because I cant figure out how to "multi quote" on this forum. Rouse- Excel spreadsheets? Just how legit do you think I am with my 'wonderings'? I think scenario #1 would be the cheapest and easiest and that would give me a very large enclosed trailer, but as far as rankings...

    Whats an ancient specialized P2 worth?

    Those are great bikes too. For about a yr or so I owned one at the same time that I had my P2. Something had to go and the trek sold 1st...

    Enclosed gooseneck trailer and possible redneckery

    Just rambling with an idea floating around in my head. A family friend has an older 41' enclosed 3 axle gooseneck trailer that theyre talking about getting rid of for cheap. I dont need anymore projects by any means, but the possibilities could be endless! The roofs leaking and the inside needs...

    Whats an ancient specialized P2 worth?

    I didnt/havent. If its only going to fetch $200-ish bucks Id rather just sit on it and wait for the local bike park to get built (so I can show the young kids how old guys crash), supposedly theyre going to put a pump track in too. I didnt realize these things had such a following! Im thinking...

    Wheel Studs - What size have you sheared off?

    Ive been beating on the stock studs on my 94 toyota p/u for almost 20yrs and ive only sheared them off (all the studs on the left rear corner) once, and Im not convinced that it wasnt my own fault. That said, losing a tire at 70mph on my way to work one day wasnt on my bingo card. Im just glad...

    Just got off the scale at 224 lbs even. Honestly I thought I wouldve gained weight since I was so sedentary last week. Got a 13.5 mile bike ride in yesterday, so I felt good about that. Now back to my regularly scheduled BS. For me, I try to stay UNDER 2k calories a day, focusing on eating more...
